Hi Sujeet,

Please try to reboot the server in "Safe Mode" and see. Second thing please disable the “Error Reporting Service" and check.

Hi Santosh,

Let me add more symptoms of the issue.

1. The issue observed for a user profile only. its working fine for other users

2. The issue doesn't appear at beginning of the user login, but it takes some time.

3. The User Logoff & Login resolves the issue for some time.

4. The user Id is also being used as a service Id for a application

We don't have option to rename the user profile. (client is not agree with this step). I have checked start up programs. All is well there.
